Pretty good statistics, but my cherished parrot was one of those 5, and I feel proper restraint could have prevented this. Now is the hard part of telling my relative and her companion when she is still in hospital…. I don't have birds, and know little about them, but here is my two cents. it is stiff and not moving with eyes wide open. Any help would be greatly appreciated.I truly cannot give any medical advice but you should probably not be putting any sort of antibiotic ointment on him. We took care and loved him a lot. Eyes wide open on their backs. Also a video I made on just this subject with Lisa Moser from Soft Landings RescueKeep me posted and if you have any other questions please do not hesitate to ask my african grey gucci lost some of her memory wont play with toys she has changed in the last 2 days she is 22 yrs still talks well not responding to commands its like she doest remember did she have a mini stroke taking her to avian vet 8 14 2015 please respond thanks rayI really have no way of telling what exactly has happened to her. My second bird is not eating now and keeps on shouting for the lost bird. If he had existing health issues, then the stress from being caged might have brought this one.I am so very sorry for the loss of your beloved Amazon ❤ Others who are reading this, please be sure to do regular avian vet checkups for your feathered ones.hi I bought my parrot a food wheel for his cadge put it in last night got up this morning and he had eaten the whole lot will he be okHun I am not sure what a food wheel is, can you submit a photo and what type of bird you have?I’ve got up this morning & found my 10 year old African grey on his back at bottom of cage, still warm. I collected him that afternoon and was prescribed “Orbax” by Merck, which is a anti bacterial oral medication. She was the start of my dedication to birds everywhere, even though I grew up with birds for most of my life. He was smart, sassy and funny and the only pet I’ve ever had that told me he loved me in words. Please try the toys and talking with him, or playing music birds love music. Remember and focus on your happy moments. There are also many foods that are toxic to our birds. While I might have an idea due to my years with birds, it would be very careless and unethical of me to suggest anything and then possibly be completely wrong. That is why I was shocked when she deteriorated so quickly. These links I'm going to give you are the same ones I give to all prospective owners and all novice owners to hopefully help them prepare for the arrivial of a new bird and to keep it safe and healthy. Obviously diet plays a big part in how long our birds may live. Last night, I was doing my regular rounds and checking everyone’s food and water.
They also need toys to play with and keep them occupied and busy, this is very important for their mental health and also keeps their beaks in shape. MY DOUBLE YELLOW-HEADED AMAZON THAT I HAVE HAD FOR 39 YEARS, SEEMS NORMAL BUT WHEN HER HEAD IS NESTLED IN HER FEATHERS, SEEMS HER BREATHING IS HARD. She was all I had my childhood home my dad passedway 2 years ago. Would she ever establish a new bond with another person?Absolutely she can establish a new bond, my home is full of birds that all came from another home where they loved someone. Yesterday she was bathing eating and drinking. I hope you will do this quickly as birds hide illness so well, that when we do finally see signs it can be too late to help them. The bond I had with Chopper was inexplicable and I continue to struggle through the loss of my best friend and life companion.I also baked that day before going out for the 2 hours, but it was in a completely separate room, no teflon was used and nothing burned. I am really worried about him. They also do this when I come home from work. Lots of Love and TLC for your bird. Are there any other documented cases of parrot death and Orbax? I can understand probability and coincidence, however it seems highly suspicious that my 20 year old beloved pet would be dead after taking the Merck drug. This of course all depends on so many factors but it could be your precious love had just reached the end of her journey here. What happened?There are so many possible reasons, that I could not even begin to guess. Only thing: she was shedding a lot of feathers. He didn’t give her much of a chance and she died hours later today in my home. He have never been to vet but also didn’t suffer from any type of illness. I'm curious as to the potential cause of death. It sounds as though she is wanting and needing you now also.Continue using the perch until you are both more comfortable. But he was a clumsy bird and ALWAYS fell. !” To mom which she was taking a quick nap before work and she came storming in, open his cage then went to the kitchen to get a towel to pick him up and then he was gone;( but after Jojo passed away he had some type of clear liquid coming out of his mouth? I really want to breed them. I knew all the signs of an ill bird, and never noticed him fluffing his feathers unhealthily, his eyes were always bright and alert, he was always very active and energetic. Buttercup was fine last nite, but this morning, she did not call out to be brought out from her cage. That bird was quite silent n that bird initially was not coming in my hand then on 25th dec she started to come on my hand and started playing. I am so sorry for your loss and hope that your heart will be able to heal and remember the happier times soon.My bird named White Owl is about the sweetest bird that you can ever have.he was very lonely so we bought him another female bird. She was fine, but a couple of days very quiet and wanted to stay with me all the time. When I took her in last week she seemed to have a staph infection where she had been plucking, and the vet thought that she might have an inflamed liver or fatty ; we were to do blood tests this Thursday if she still was ill. I feel so worried xxMy Bungle Bear has gone to join the singer’s in the sky, I’m completely devastated, he was only a baby Thankyou so much, we went to visit him on Saturday and left him a little teddy to cuddle, that way he is never alone. Humans can die with their eyes open, why not birds? So Harry had his normal life span and you can hold on to the fact that he was very loved and never had to go from home to home.
